Bundle Alert! When you bundle Porter Pullover 1 with an SQ of Forge at Hudson + West Co., you’ll get a discount off the pattern.

The perfect “back-to-school” sweater for adults — Porter Pullover 1 by Meghan Babin is a classic redux on her popular Porter cardigan, a menswear/ unisex raglan cardigan, turned womenswear raglan pullover with a collegiate V-neck and all the same luscious cables as the original.

This pullover is sized based on ASTM for Women, meaning it uses the standard measurements for womenswear for a more tailored fit. The yoke depth, body length, and sleeves are shorter than the original Porter cardigan.

We’re #teamseam! This pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces and seamed in finishing. Optional directions for tubular cast ons are provided for the most polished finish. The ribbed v-neck is picked up and worked in the round after seaming and finished with an optional tubular bind off.
